New ATTACKS escalate tensions, target Saudi oil facilities · INSIGHT TODAY

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, So tensions escalating in the Middle East? How
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: many times have I ever read that out loud? After
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Houthi forces attack Saudi oil facilities over the weekend, unraveling
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a year's long truce, threatening to widen the war. So
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: they've had a rivalry, and now they're going into the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: bigger story.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Of course, our fight with Iran. President Trump has paused
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: US strikes as.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: His administration gives diplomacy more time, and he gives credit
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to the Oman for trying to broke her some type
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of end to the log jam.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Of the Strait of Removes.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: But since we've stopped attacking over the last three days,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: there's been no attack on merchant ships through the strait.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: So this is the added front.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: The Houthi's been on the sideline in twenty twenty five,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they've been on a satellite.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Now since this wars started, they've been on the sideline.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: They've been urged to move forward. And guess what.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: There are cargo plans from Iran landing in in Yemen
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in the Houthi controlled areas, along with the Iranian commanders
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: telling him essentially how to shut down a straight.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: In one hundred words or less. So what have they done.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: They have attacked three Saudi vessels. Now those two of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: those ships have been to be able to continue to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: unload their oil. Now what's significant about this is since
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the straight of for moves has been shut down, the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: SATA said, okay, no problem, I'll redirect everything through eight
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: million barrels a day through this strait. You shut this down,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it's going to really disrupt prices. That's why it's like
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: ninety dollars ninety dollars a barrel, and now that's dropped
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: five percent when we got up this morning. Why because
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: so far we have not we have not gone back
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to fighting.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: What about the Homu Strait.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Now, last time we heard there was about three or
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: four ships getting through at a time. But last time
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we also found out afterwards, before we got into the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: MoU that we've been getting our own ships through the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: strait on the Oman side shut the transponders off and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they weren't necessarily.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Being logged in traditionally.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: So there could be a lot more oil flowing through
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the Hoothi's attacking risk opening up a second shipping crisis that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Could be happening.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We can also found a way to neutralize the Houthis
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as well. And now the war could draws more US forces. Yes,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: we have more US forces in the area. We're also
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: talking to the Gulf state saying if we attack Kuwait,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: by the way, is attack back quietly, so as the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: UAE attack back in the past quietly.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Well, what if we get them all to come in
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and join us.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: After all, we have the same objective to neutralize Aran.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And now this is a situation where we want to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: see if we can get this open again. We get
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the other straight open again, and then the prices get
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: down to about sixty five dollars per gallon. So let's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: now talk about this and open up the discussion here,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: discuss this and where we go from here. US Marine
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Corps veteran Iraqi invasion commander and visiting fellow at Heritage,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Colonel Mike Jernigan. Colonel, are you pleased that after fourteen
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: straight days we have three days of no action?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Brian. I am as one of those
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: boots on the ground in other wars, I am very
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: thankful any time that we have any conversation that stops fighting,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: whether it's temporary or whether at least to a lasting piece.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Does it concern you.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It concern you how quick they armed up last time
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: when we paused.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, the Russians and the People's Republic of China are
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: busily re arming Iran, and we're busily destroying things as
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: they continue to get them. Sent Com reports that we
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: have about twenty percent left of the target list that
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: we have not yet struck from the initial target package
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: of vergent Fury. So we're have more targets to strike.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: But to your point earlier, it's encouraging to see the
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: golf allies beginning to get involved in this.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: So I found out from two separate sources, extremely credible,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: one of which is the President.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: That is not true. We're out of interceptors.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: He said, what I like to have more, Yes, but
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that New York Times story is something that is not verified.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I have two separate sources.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: A third if I look, get the interview the ambassador
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Mike Waltstead on Sunday. So there's someone in the White House.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: We're in and around the White House. It's almost planting
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: these stories. There seems to be a little bit of
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: divide at the executive brand.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Does it seem that way?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm not concerned about the amount of interceptors
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: that we have, Yes, if other people had come and
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: helped us, we would have more. But it's important to
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: remember that our golf allies have been buying those very
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: same interceptors from us for thirty years. So whenever we
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: need resupply, we can get it locally from the Saudis
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: or Bahrain.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: So what would you do with the Houthi situation?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You know, this is a Saudi Houthi problem that's affecting
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: everyone because it's oil and gas, and that's what Iran
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: wants them to do.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Do you think that we have to.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Take kinetic action if this continues?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the UTIs. It's important to think of the Houtis
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: as the Talibana Yemen. They're an illegal government with a
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: different religious fever that they're trying to really create another
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Shia state in Yemen. And so kinetic strikes against the
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Houtis the Saudis are doing them, and I wouldn't be
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: surprised if other Gulf states come in and contribute, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: including America. Iran has tried to widen the front of
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: this war, and I think it's going to come back
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: and hurt them as many of their proxies are going
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: to get damaged and destroyed and hopefully decimated.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin lying to the President saying he's not helping,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and Vladimir Zelenski is going to show that Russians are
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: exactly helping.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: The Iranians, so he, I'm sure, is going to.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Continue to lose credibility with the President of the United States.
• 5:19
